Democrat leaders are so soft on crime that in places like Los Angeles that international gangs in Latin American are targeting them for home burglaries. When out on bail these gang members go get their loot and scoot back to their own countries.

The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a task force to try to crack down on ‘burglary tourists’ who use the US tourism visa system to commit crimes.

Cunning criminals from Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru target wealthy neighborhoods in places with relaxed criminal justice laws to conduct home burglaries – before returning home with the loot while out on bail.

The troubling trend of ‘lanzas internacionales’ – translated to ‘international thieves’ – dates back at least two years across America, while the problem has also reared its ugly head in the United Kingdom.

Authorities in Los Angeles announced the task force after a 17-year-old Chilean national was caught in Arizona following a series of jewel heists across the California city. The FBI set up its own task force to combat the thieves in 2022.

The suspect and his two accomplices – 32-year-old Grecia Romanduski Gaete Castillo and 23-year-old Sebastian Jesus Parraguez Soto, all from Chile – were taken into custody, where they admitted to breaking into several homes in the region.

In fact, the 17-year-old – who has not been identified because of their age – was initially arrested weeks earlier in the Los Angeles area with three other Chileans for robbing homes.

The teenager falsified Venezuelan identification and continuously got away from the LAPD by making excuses that his parents had left him alone in the country with a friend of the family.

He then disappeared after he was turned over to the child and family services unit.

Experts say the issue has been increasing over the past five years, as South Americans continue to use the tourist visa system to rob Americans.

Law enforcement experts say the foreign cells of professional burglars – mostly from Columbia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru – enter the country illegally or exploit a 2014 visa waiver program intended to spur tourism from dozens of trusted countries.

The program, known as ESTA – Electronic System for Travel Authorization – allows South Americans to enter the United States for an unlimited number of 90-day periods.

After entering the country, they carry out strings of break-ins and other crimes, bringing home up to hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen goods, the FBI said.

This is what people get for putting in these soft-on-crime clowns in California in charge, like Gascon.
